The partnership between Velociti Inc. and Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. to include Dragonfly's All-Electric Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) in Velociti's Instant ROI program is a strategic move that taps into the growing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions in the transportation industry. Fleet operators are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions and operating costs, which is driving the adoption of technologies such as lithium-ion power systems. The inclusion of Dragonfly Energy's solution in the Instant ROI program not only mitigates the financial barrier to adoption but also incentivizes immediate implementation by allowing fleets to use savings to fund the technology.

Moreover, the extended payment terms and deferred billing could potentially improve the cash flow of adopting fleets, making the investment more attractive. The added benefit of VeloCare's proactive system health monitoring and comprehensive support service could enhance the value proposition by reducing maintenance downtime and extending the life span of the APU. This partnership could significantly impact the market share of both companies by positioning them as leaders in sustainable fleet technology solutions.

From a financial perspective, the collaboration between Velociti and Dragonfly Energy represents a forward-thinking approach to overcoming the capital expenditure hurdles often associated with green technology adoption. By deferring the initial cost and linking payments to savings generated by the technology, fleets can improve their balance sheets while simultaneously investing in sustainability. This could result in an improved total cost of ownership for the fleets, which is a crucial factor in investment decisions.

The partnership also has the potential to drive revenue growth for Dragonfly Energy by expanding its customer base through Velociti's established network. The market's reaction to this partnership could be seen in Dragonfly Energy's stock performance, as investors may view this as a positive step towards increased market penetration and revenue diversification. Additionally, the operational efficiency gains and cost savings for fleets could lead to increased demand for Dragonfly's products, providing a bullish case for the company's financial future.

Environmental considerations are central to the adoption of Dragonfly Energy's All-Electric APU. The transition from diesel-powered units to lithium-ion-based systems represents a significant reduction in carbon emissions for the heavy-duty trucking industry. This aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and the increasing regulatory requirements for lower emissions in commercial transportation.

The environmental benefits of adopting Dragonfly's technology, such as fuel cost savings and quieter operation, also contribute to corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. Companies implementing these solutions can leverage them in their sustainability reporting, potentially improving their public image and stakeholder relations. The partnership's focus on reducing environmental impact while providing economic benefits presents a compelling case for the technology's adoption, which could catalyze broader industry shifts towards sustainable practices.

Innovative Instant ROI program allows fleets to achieve substantial and immediate savings from the deployment of Battle Born All-Electric Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

NEW ORLEANS, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Velociti Inc., a global provider of technology deployment, maintenance and integration solutions, and Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”), maker of Battle Born Batteries® and an industry leader in energy storage, today announced at American Trucking Associations Technology Maintenance Council’s Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition, a partnership to provide Dragonfly Energy customers with access to the Velociti Instant ROI (Return on Investment) and VeloCare programs.

Successfully used by fleets for a variety of technologies and solutions, the Instant ROI program allows fleets to advance the use of their savings to pay for the technology, installation, and support services for the life of the solution.

"We created our Instant ROI program many years ago to bridge the gap between the technology our fleet customers desired and their ability to implement it due to hurdles like upfront investment and integration challenges," said Deryk Powell, president of Velociti. "We're constantly researching cutting-edge technologies we believe will give our fleet customers a competitive edge in challenging economic and regulatory conditions. When a solution like Dragonfly Energy's All-Electric APU emerges, we're thrilled to encompass it within the Instant ROI program. We believe this unique solution holds significant potential for the industry."

Dragonfly Energy offers lithium-ion power systems, including the Battle Born All-Electric APU for heavy-duty trucks to run hotel loads, and power liftgates and other equipment. The solutions are more efficient than traditional diesel-powered APUs and other lead acid-based battery systems, providing fuel cost savings, lower emissions, and quieter operation.
